A visit to Canal & River Trust, Wigan

We left our lovely mooring at Pennington Flashes on Wednesday, a bright, sunny morning stopping first to fill the water tank and read the information board regarding our query about the lack of marina here at Plank Lane ...

Wigan Junction is not very impressive at all … to the right is the 21 Wigan Locks - no thanks!

We go to our left where we use the services ...

… and descend Henhurst Lock under the distiguished canal bridge

… and pull over onto the secure 48-hour visitor mooring at the rear of the Canal & River Trust’s Wigan offices where we popped inside to say hello and collect the paperwork for our journey into Liverpool.
